Xu Dong, who left the power company and was still halfway there, received a call from Director Cao halfway.

"Uncle Cao, I've given you an early birthday in advance."

"Good! Xiao Xu, are you free now? After a few polite sentences, Director Cao asked directly.

Xu Dong simply parked the car on the side of the road and began to concentrate on answering the phone, the five children at home can't risk their own safety.

"Yes, I'm on my way from work, Uncle Cao, what's the matter with you?" Xu Dong asked.

"That's just right, you come to my house by the way, the families who changed the milk powder before have prepared a little New Year's goods for you, you can come to my side to pick it up!" Director Cao replied.

"Huh?" Xu Dong was a little surprised, and turned to shirk and said: "This is too polite, Uncle Cao, you better go back for me, I am just a middleman, everyone takes what they need, there is really no need." ”

"Don't worry, I saw the New Year's goods, it's not a particularly valuable thing, it is estimated that it is also a benefit issued by the unit, and they have specially prepared one for you." Director Cao explained.

Xu Dong thought about it, since Director Cao said that there was no problem, then there must be no problem, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll come over now." ”

"Drive slowly, don't worry!" Director Cao finally admonished.

Ten minutes later, Director Cao's house arrived, and this was the second time Xu Dong had come over.

"Ding-dong......"

The door was opened by Mrs. Cao, the kind-looking old lady.

"Xiao Xu, have a good New Year!"

"Auntie, I came in too much hurry today, I didn't bring any gifts, this bag of dried sweet potatoes was sent by the company in the afternoon, let's give you a snack!"

Director Cao was originally in charge of logistics, and there must be no shortage of good things at home, and Xu Dong's delivery of dried sweet potatoes is also a heart, after all, it is not polite to come to the door empty-handed on the side of this year's festival.

"Okay, then I'll take it, Lao Cao has just come back and is in the study, you hurry up!" Aunt Cao said after taking the bag.

Xu Dong nodded, came directly to the door of the study, and knocked on the door.

"The door is unlocked, come in!"

Xu Dong pushed the door in: "Uncle Cao, I'm here." ”

Director Cao put down the brush, pointed to the sofa and said:

"Sit casually!"

Next, the two talked about some incidents in the security section and the time for the next milk powder change.

Finally, the two returned to the living room again, and Director Cao pointed to the corner of the living room and said, "Everything is here, you can take it back quickly!" ”

"Who gave it all?"

"That box of frozen seafood was given by my old classmate, he works at the port of Jinmen, and he has time to take you to the door;

The rice and cooking oil were sent by Manager Wu of the summer grain; The wool was personally sent by Director Xia and his wife of Jingmian Group.

As for the rest, I can't remember.

However, there is a list in that red bag, which was counted by your aunt herself, and it is clearly written, you can go back and read it for yourself! ”

Xu Dong looked at these things a little staggeringly, and the benefits of his own company were simply perfunctory compared to others.

"Uncle Cao, look at the generosity of other companies, how is our company ...... A lot of people are complaining about it? ”

Director Cao coughed heavily: "They are also glamorous on the surface, but in fact, our company's benefits are used to subsidize the canteen."

Otherwise, how can you eat fresh vegetables every day, let alone three taels of food stamps, one pound of food stamps is not enough. ”

"Uncle Cao, it's still you who are smart."

Xu Dong realized that Director Cao is a smart person, rich but not exposed, and the real wealth is hidden in the "people".

"Don't be a sycophant, I'm not Lao Li, I don't eat your set." Director Cao scolded with a smile.

"Well, seriously! Uncle Cao, there are so many things, our family can't eat them all for a while, do you want to ...... here?"

Director Cao waved his hand directly: "I still lack this little thing from you?" There are a lot of things to do during the New Year, so I won't leave you to eat. ”

……

At half past six in the afternoon, Xu Dong finally arrived home with a trunk of New Year's goods.

Ma Lingling was playing with the triplets in the yard, and before Xu Dong entered the door, he heard the "giggles" laughter of the three of them.

Compared with the Coco sisters, Ma Lingling, a cousin, can be said to be much more conscientious.

"Uncle, you're off work."

"Well, are you tired of taking care of children? Dabao: Are they naughty? ”

Xu Dong was carrying things in both hands, so he could only let the triplets run over and hug his thighs.

Ma Lingling smiled: "I'm not tired, the three of them are so cute, much better than Xiao Xu when he was a child." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, my uncle will wrap you a big red envelope as New Year's money."

"Thank you, uncle." Ma Lingling said happily, and then coaxed the triplets aside to let her uncle regain her freedom.

Xu Dong hurriedly carried his things into the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Well, did you send it from your company, or did you buy it on the road?" Mother Xu asked casually, and then stepped forward to take a large bag.

"I bought it, isn't this about the New Year, I went to Panjiayuan to take a look." Xu Dong said according to his mother's words.

The way these New Year's goods came from, after all, it was not very glorious, and he was afraid that his mother would show off outside.

"I'll see."

After Xu Ma finished speaking, she opened the bag and looked at it, oh, there are really a lot of good things, there are food and drink, and there are seven or eight things in total.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to return to the garage and moved the box of seafood over: "Mom, there is still a box of frozen seafood here." ”

"yes, what's there?" Xu Ma was surprised.

Xu Dong didn't open it himself, and when he heard his mother asking, he took out the keychain, cut the tape with nail clippers, and opened the foam box.

"Big lobster?"

Xu Dong really didn't expect that it was actually a high-end product like a lobster, and after counting it, there were a total of eight in the box.

It's just not clear whether these giant lobsters are wild or farmed.

However, the lobster at this time is definitely not as expensive as pork, and the lobster is not only less meat, but also has no fat, giving people a flashy feeling.

Different from Xu Dong's surprise, Xu's mother showed a sad face: "Third child, my mother can't make a big lobster, what can I do?" ”

"It's okay, Mom, I'll teach you, let's steam the lobster directly in the pot, and then add it with seasoning sauce, and eat it fresh." Xu Dong suggested.

Yang Lina happened to come into the kitchen, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but interject: "Isn't this the method of steaming crayfish?" ”

"That's right, you think about it, crayfish and big lobsters are both lobsters, and the method is pretty much the same." Xu Dong said with a smile.

"Okay, let's try two later." Mother Xu nodded.

Yang Lina knew that her husband was unreliable, so she kicked people out of the kitchen, and then took out her mobile phone to search for the practice of lobster, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law studied it together.

Xu Dong moved all the remaining things into the warehouse in the basement, such as grain, oil and wool, and there was no shortage at home, so he could only put them away for the time being.
